Project Healthcare Application Open

The application for NYU Robert I. Grossman’s School of Medicine’s annual clinical summer intensive – Project Healthcare is open! The application

Project Healthcare is offered in both Manhattan and Brooklyn. As a member of Project Healthcare students are given the unique opportunity to play an active role in patient care in one of NYU’s active Emergency Departments. Through hands on experience, in one of New York City’s level 1 Trauma Centers, our volunteers are able to explore a diverse array of interests and are exposed to the reality of a career in medicine. The volunteers learn to function as patient advocates, and are also exposed to numerous aspects of patient care while working closely with the clinical staff. Our 9-week or 10-week intensive summer program is one of the most competitive and attractive programs in the nation offered to collegiate students.

 

More information and, more specifically, the application for Project Healthcare can be accessed through this link. The application for Project Healthcare 2022 is now open and will officially close on FridayFebruary 11th at 11:59pm. The application requires the submission of a personal statement, a current CV or resume and two letters of recommendation. Please note that no particular previous experiences are required. Each year, in selecting our volunteers, we look for a diverse group of students with equally diverse interests and experiences.
